This commit completes the list of call_rcu*() functions that are not
guaranteed to have their callbacks executing on the same CPU. While in
the area, fix an unrelated typo.

In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=n, spinlock critical sections
are RCU readers because they disable preemption. However, they are also
RCU readers in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y because in that case the locking
primitives contain rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(). Therefore,
upgrade checklist.rst to document this non-obvious case.
While in the area, fix a typo by changing "read-side critical" to
"read-side critical section".

Currently, the reader/updater compatibility rules for the three RCU
Tasks flavors are squished together in a single paragraph, which can
result in confusion. This commit therefore splits them out into a list,
clearly showing the distinction between these flavors.

but a few significant changes even so:
- A complete rewriting of the top-level index.rst file, which mostly
reflects itself in a redone top page in the HTML-rendered docs. The hope
is that the new organization will be a friendlier starting point for
both users and developers.
- Some math-rendering improvements.
- A coding-style.rst update on the use of BUG() and WARN()
- A big maintainer-PHP guide update.
- Some code-of-conduct updates

Plus the usual pile of typo fixes, corrections, and updates.

The checklist.rst document advises periodic synchronize_rcu() invocations
to prevent callback flooding. However, rcu_barrier() is often a better
choice. This commit therefore adds words to this effect.

The current checklist.rst file correctly notes that RCU callbacks execute
in BH context, and cannot block. This commit adds words advising people
needing callbacks to block to use workqueues, for example, by replacing
call_rcu() with queue_rcu_work().

This commit updates checklist.rst to emphasize the need for explicit
markers for RCU read-side critical sections.
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
The RCU documentation contains old-style cross references which
do not follow the best practices outlined in doc-guide/sphinx.rst.
In addition, some of the cross references use URLs that should be replaced
by pathnames.
Update all of these cross references and adjust the surrounding words.
Summary of changes:
- out-of-date plaintext file names (*.txt) -> *.rst
- references by :ref: tags -> path names of *.rst
* use relative paths to .rst files under the RCU/ subdirectory
* use abs paths of Documentation/xxx for other .rst files
- references by URL under https://www.kernel.org/ -> paths of *.rst
- adjust surrounding words of some of updated references.
Note:
The automarkup.py script interprets references via "*.txt" as if they
were via "*.rst", so the *.txt -> *.rst changes should be regarded as
cleanups rather than bug fixes.

CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.
Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same functionality which today
depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT.
Update the documents and mention CONFIG_PREEMPTION. Spell out
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT (instead PREEMPT_RT) since it is an option now.

It appears the Compaq link moved to a machine at HP for a while
after the merger of the two, but that doesn't work either. A search
of HP for "wiz_2637" (w and w/o html suffix) comes up empty.
Since the references aren't critical to the documents we remove them.
Also, the lkml.kernel.org/g links have been broken for ages, so replace
them with lore.kernel.org/r links - standardize on lore for all links too.
Note that we put off fixing these 4y ago - presumably thinking that a
treewide fixup was pending. Probably safe to go fix the RCU ones now.
